The 1st story reminded me of a story my husband told me. He was travelling home on a train one evening and the conductor asked to see his ticket, which he showed him. The conductor then went to a group of young ladies and asked the same. They said that their tickets were on their phones and the phones had run out of power. They couldn't charge up their phones because they hadn't got the power cables etc. My husband overhearing said "I have a cable you can borrow" and they asked what sort of phone he'd got. They made the assumption that because his phone was different, the cable couldn't be used on their phones.....WRONG!!!

Up until the end of story 3, I honestly thought Lisa was grinning because she was helping OP stick it to Tom. That Lisa knew about Tom's unreasonableness, and was letting OP chill at the register for a while, while Tom and/or his chosen employee to cover grocery sweated it out in the back. Guess I (somehow) still have a little too much faith in people.
Worked for a beer distributor before and OP is 100% right about store managers being the lords over their little kingdom. I had one store along my entire route that was a nightmare to work because of a male Karen named “Doug”.

And I routinely had to explain that I was with the Other company whose backstock was organized and rotated our section of the cooler was stocked and faced. I took pride in it just like OP. This guy tries to escalate the argument and call our corporate because I didn’t fill a spot in the cooler that was empty (it was our competitors spot). I tried explaining it to him that it wasn’t our product and I’m not going to be liable for handling it. He starts full volume cussing me out on the floor. I tell him it’s not my problem and walk out. Thankfully that store got taken off my rotation and the manager was summarily let go a few weeks later for a multitude of reasons. If you’re somewhere out there Doug reading this. I hope losing everything and having to move back to NM was worth it 🤣

There's a couple big possibilities.

Fluff, man, you gotta double check this. Story two: the adjuster was completely UNAWARE of what was going on - not completely aware of things. Kinda makes a big difference in the story!
Story 3, or may be different but every place I've lived makes it illegal to garnish an employees wages at least without a court case. These cases are highly stacked against the company as it is assumed that said company is attempting to enslave and steal from the employee, the cost for the company to win is often times so high that they will choose to simply eat the cost instead as one of the stipulations is proving malice in causing the damage which is nearly impossible.
Not sure where you live, but people from all over the world post to reddit. So where ever this story took place either the law isn't the same or there's some loophole where they could have their wages garnished. I do know in the US many places have policies where servers have to cover costs of meals that they served to people who dine and ditch. Really don't see how this is legal, but it happens all the time. It's not right and is comparable to if retail employees were required to cover costs of people who shoplift when they're on shift. In addition, many restaurants can legally reduce hourly wages because serving is a tipping position. And since tips are taxable they "supposedly" only reduce their hourly wage if their tips reach the minimum wage of that state, but in reality many places don't declare the tips and cut costs through a legal loophole to reduce paying their employees. Now there are some states where you can not reduce hourly wages on servers, but they can still deduct their credit card transaction costs of the business from servers tips. They also have tip out policies for what's called "back of the house" staff, such as kitchen staff and bussers, where they calculate a percentage of their sales to tip out. This is incredibly unfair to the server as they are not guaranteed any amount of tip calculated from sales. So if a server has a bad day, and tipping itself is growing out of practice, they end up tipping out of their own pocket. Just another move for the company to cut their own overhead costs because they're unwilling to pay their back of the house more and make servers out to be the greedy one's for not wanting to tip out.
The company know that & are banking on the teenager's gullibility. The only things allowed to be garnished from paychecks are what's owed to the state: unpaid taxes, tickets or child support.

Fluff please don't cry. The two managers in the grocery story may have had to pay back the $2500 loss. Just because OP did not know about any repercussions doesn't mean there were none. lol
Or, better still, they might have each tried to get out of paying the $2500 by throwing the other under the bus, leading to other issues coming to light and getting them in even bigger trouble.
Sweet mother of God! That story about the grocery department guy who had to sit on his till while thousands of dollars worth of goods thawed out happened to me! Albeit the circumstances were a little different but the story is basically the same. I worked in what’s basically a UK equivalent of Wal Mart in the dairy department and it had the same mandatory policy. Only I suppose some of my managers were smarter than that because there were essential roles that made you immune from checkouts. One of those was when the delivery came in out the back and at least one person had to do it right away because the frozen meat and chilled dairy items needed to be put in the freezer and fridge within twenty minutes. Then the day came when the idiot manager came. I’d ignored all the calls to checkouts because everyone else had already been poached and I was rolling these heavy cages alone. He tells me to stop and go to checkouts. I’m very clear about why I can’t and he assures me I’ll only be gone ten minutes. I tell him I want the order in writing, authorising me to stop handling the delivery and go to checkouts. Signed, dated and timestamped. And much like the OP I’m kept on checkouts for just over an hour and the cages of meat dairy have thawed out exactly where I was forced to leave them. So I rolled them to the waste area, put on the disposal tags and resumed work. And like the OP I was called up to senior management and asked why I’d let thousands of pounds worth of stock thaw out. I had my signed, dated and timestamped form ready as I knew this was coming. (These forms aren’t used much. It’s basically a way to ass cover should you object and obey under protest.) I said. “This is why. I made it very clear that there was chilled products out but I got overruled. You can pull up the checkout logs from systems office to confirm.” They weren’t pleased but I was sent back to work without further ado. I don’t know what happened to the idiot manager or why he overruled me. He was a recent transfer as this was a manager training store. They changed regularly. He didn’t even know me so it couldn’t have been personal. My best guesses are that he really intended for me to support checkouts just for the rush and forgot, or as a newly promoted manager the new rank and power went to his head. Either way I never learnt what happened to him but I know whatever it was, the punishment was bad. The supermarket chain detested unnecessary losses. Huh, never figured I’d hear a story so similar to mine.
How did the roofing guy get the job by buying all the stuff?! Forget applying to jobs! I’m just going to walk in and be like, “well, I have all the stuff,” and then they’ll have to hire me, right? 😂
You would be surprised how well that actually works. Not in this contractors situation. That’s just stupid and really really bad business. But if you go to a job with everything you need to work right then and there. Shows you have initiative and ambition. That you came to work and not make excuses. I have hired several people for doing just that. Guy came to a welding shop I was running. We had no add out saying we were hiring. He just pulled up in is work gear and boots had his tools in his truck a resume and said he could start right now. Hired him on the spot. One of the best welders and guys I have ever met.
My buddy has his own construction business. He got hired to build a retaining wall for somebody. He built the wall and never got paid. After 2 weeks he went and tore it down. He said the only good part about non payment is he gets to become a demolition man. He hates the not eating part though
My roommate owned an antiques store the next town over. It was a mile walk (no big deal when the weather was nice) to our station and the ride to the next town was only 10-15 minutes. The conductor always started ticket checking at the front of the train and never got to the last car or two before the train was pulling in at the next stop (most passengers rode a lot further) so we'd get in the doorway and hop out the moment it opened. I don't think we paid a single time in 5 years when they sold the shop.
That story with the three roofing companies, hopefully OPs and the third company have a good relationship and still help each other out. Especially now that Mr D is gone from their competition.
I wish this wasn’t called _malicious_ compliance. The meaning of malice is ‘evil intentions and forethought’. None of the people in these stories seem to be evil.
The problem with Story 2 is that not only did they punish the owner they also punished the workers, you can bet some of them where let go to cover costs.
If I was HOA, I would probably had let them do as long as I can before calling the cop & sue.. and it could have been on some severe fine about emotionnal damage (when you have some random guys removing your roof!!!) & maybe criminal charge for trespassing & home invasion.

I dunno, I’m generally of the opinion that when someone is released from prison they’ve been punished already for whatever they did. Usually. I’m not sure I’d ever agree with letting a convicted murderer out for any reason. By killing someone they stole that person’s entire future and if the victim was young enough, the lives of any kids they might have had. So IMO a murderer should lose their whole future to prison.
@@mikoto7693 I can understand that, a lot of people think it's a simple as putting down a mad dog, they had a taste of blood and they probably want more, but the human mind is a lot more complex, who knows why they did it?
He's done his time, we shouldn't be getting in the way of him leading a better life by the stigma surrounding convicts. The social outcasting actively pushes convicts back into prisons because they often can't find any work at all, despite already having paid for their crime. And they can't even socialise properly and form healthy connections outside of prisons, so a lot of them find solace in each other, when they can.
I used to work for the retailer with the red color fetish and I know all well the calling floor people to registers I lucked out as I had a person higher up the food chain than the district level covering my butt. That person often told the store management that I was to spend at least 3/4 of my time in my department as it was not only extremely profitable but they'd use it as an example to trainee managers/upper management so he wanted it to look as perfect as possible Store management was furious as he also essentially created where I could get overtime often if I wanted
We do a lot of insurance work and got called for a restaurant fire. The initial adjuster paid $80k. We could not see all of the damage until the demolition was completed. We also discovered additional items while the work was in progress. When the job was finished, the price, and insurance payment, increased to $1.3 million.
OOOOH story 3 reminded me sooo much of when I also worked at the bullseye xD I had been told I was going to get register training, I was fine with it, whatever... then a month passed. I asked about it and never really got a response. Another month. I asked again, nothing. And EVERY time they called for people to come cover registers, I'd begun turning to my coworkers and going "well I would but I'm not register trained." Even with supervisors around, I'd make sure to say it pretty clearly, since I was almost always on the floor (the place being what it was). I'd stopped asking, and I'd worked there for quite some time when the busy busy holidays rolled around. Every time, I was just gleeful in saying how I'd never been register trained, even if directly asked to go help. It was so much fun to watch people get mad about it, because I literally wasn't able to get into a register without having passed the training course or whatever.
Well I did not actually fall through the ceiling from inside the attic, but my right foot did break all the way through the ceiling and into the living space, and I was fired that day. Nice to hear it was Mr. president's residence. Yes, I was new on the job and I did not notice that the planked walkway inside the attic was just that, a small narrow walkway and I over stepped and put my foot down onto the ceiling's sheetrock and almost fell through into the top of the stairs hallway leading to the bedrooms.
I almost wist Tom had tried to take OP's Wages to cover the lost product...OP could have Sued his Ass in Court for it along with dropping the Wrath of the Ministry/Department of Labour on his Idiot Head... As far as I'm aware, EVERY Province of Canada and US State has a Law that makes it Illegal for an Employer to dock Employee Wages to cover Store Losses...
The first train story kinda reminds me of the scene in "The Incredibles", where Syndrome gloats that it's not the end, but when Mr. Incredible throws his car at the ship, Syndrome instantly stops laughing and gasps, "Oh no..."
What. Just because I bring lots of tools and material to a construction site does not mean that they have to hire me?! If they vote that company A should get the contract then company A gets to do it.
There was one time where I had a legitimate excuse for not having a ticket. The station that I left from didn't have anyone to buy a ticket from but just a ticket machine. They didn't have a facility for credit cards; you had to put change into it. I had the right amount of change but in small coins. It wouldn't accept more than 10 coins at one time. When I got to the destination, I explained my situation. They agreed that it was genuine excuse but the fkrs still fined me. They said if I had a problem with that, I could take it to court. Bastards.
So… instead of fake sleep it's best to print out a prison release form? lol Just wait until those kids watch this story. I can already imagine 6 underage kids with a serious face and rushed fake tattoos showing a paper saying they've just been released after 25 years in prison. All 6 of them. Ahahahaha
He just showed up and tore their roof off?? How does that mean “now we have to pay him and choose him for the whole job” and not “we’re calling the police and pressing hella charges wtf what kind of lunatic tears off a roof with no consent or agreement!?”
Bruh 8 years for murder? Where do they live? I'd understand manslaughter or crime-of-passion but murder? I'm more afraid of that country than the murderer they allowed free for "exemplary behavior."
I’d say “probably the UK” since our justice system is that weak and unsatisfactory but I think the OP mentioned Euros so I suppose I could be comforted that another country’s justice system is equally as weak, soft and forgiving.
American HOA's like the DMV buildings are just 2 severely backasswards broken systems that you'd think such an advanced nation would have changed by now.

These cases are highly stacked against the company as it is assumed that said company is attempting to enslave and steal from the employee, the cost for the company to win is often times so high that they will choose to simply eat the cost instead as one of the stipulations is proving malice in causing the damage which is nearly impossible.
Not sure where you live, but people from all over the world post to reddit. So where ever this story took place either the law isn't the same or there's some loophole where they could have their wages garnished. I do know in the US many places have policies where servers have to cover costs of meals that they served to people who dine and ditch. Really don't see how this is legal, but it happens all the time. It's not right and is comparable to if retail employees were required to cover costs of people who shoplift when they're on shift. In addition, many restaurants can legally reduce hourly wages because serving is a tipping position. And since tips are taxable they "supposedly" only reduce their hourly wage if their tips reach the minimum wage of that state, but in reality many places don't declare the tips and cut costs through a legal loophole to reduce paying their employees. Now there are some states where you can not reduce hourly wages on servers, but they can still deduct their credit card transaction costs of the business from servers tips. They also have tip out policies for what's called "back of the house" staff, such as kitchen staff and bussers, where they calculate a percentage of their sales to tip out. This is incredibly unfair to the server as they are not guaranteed any amount of tip calculated from sales. So if a server has a bad day, and tipping itself is growing out of practice, they end up tipping out of their own pocket. Just another move for the company to cut their own overhead costs because they're unwilling to pay their back of the house more and make servers out to be the greedy one's for not wanting to tip out.
The company know that & are banking on the teenager's gullibility. The only things allowed to be garnished from paychecks are what's owed to the state: unpaid taxes, tickets or child support.
#1 OP DID keep them safe. He even kept them safe from themselves.
I hope Lisa got her wages garnished for the $2500 since it was her negligence that caused the loss
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Can't do any of the crap where I come from. The company takes the loss, end of. They can discipline management but they can't make anyone pay for it.
I'm pretty sure Lisa knew exactly what she was doing, basically gave op a long break.
@@RiddleLynx No. She just forgot to come switch his light out. She wasn't used to doing it & never really had to. Boy, that's malicious compliance! Standing at register while others are re-stocking, letting the $2500 order spoil; 'cuz, hey, L hasn't turned my light out. T made me sign a document. Here, HR, read it!
Fluff please don't cry. The two managers in the grocery story may have had to pay back the $2500 loss. Just because OP did not know about any repercussions doesn't mean there were none. lol
Or, better still, they might have each tried to get out of paying the $2500 by throwing the other under the bus, leading to other issues coming to light and getting them in even bigger trouble.
at the very least, those managers ended with egg on their faces.
Can we just appreciate lisa Malicious compliance with op
Damn, I wouldn't kick off the murderer either, man. Good call lol
Fluff: "We survived another one!"
Me: " I don't fell so good..."
Sweet mother of God! That story about the grocery department guy who had to sit on his till while thousands of dollars worth of goods thawed out happened to me! Albeit the circumstances were a little different but the story is basically the same.
I worked in what’s basically a UK equivalent of Wal Mart in the dairy department and it had the same mandatory policy. Only I suppose some of my managers were smarter than that because there were essential roles that made you immune from checkouts.
One of those was when the delivery came in out the back and at least one person had to do it right away because the frozen meat and chilled dairy items needed to be put in the freezer and fridge within twenty minutes.
Then the day came when the idiot manager came. I’d ignored all the calls to checkouts because everyone else had already been poached and I was rolling these heavy cages alone. He tells me to stop and go to checkouts. I’m very clear about why I can’t and he assures me I’ll only be gone ten minutes. I tell him I want the order in writing, authorising me to stop handling the delivery and go to checkouts. Signed, dated and timestamped.
And much like the OP I’m kept on checkouts for just over an hour and the cages of meat dairy have thawed out exactly where I was forced to leave them. So I rolled them to the waste area, put on the disposal tags and resumed work.
And like the OP I was called up to senior management and asked why I’d let thousands of pounds worth of stock thaw out. I had my signed, dated and timestamped form ready as I knew this was coming. (These forms aren’t used much. It’s basically a way to ass cover should you object and obey under protest.)
I said. “This is why. I made it very clear that there was chilled products out but I got overruled. You can pull up the checkout logs from systems office to confirm.” They weren’t pleased but I was sent back to work without further ado.
I don’t know what happened to the idiot manager or why he overruled me. He was a recent transfer as this was a manager training store. They changed regularly. He didn’t even know me so it couldn’t have been personal.
My best guesses are that he really intended for me to support checkouts just for the rush and forgot, or as a newly promoted manager the new rank and power went to his head. Either way I never learnt what happened to him but I know whatever it was, the punishment was bad. The supermarket chain detested unnecessary losses.
Huh, never figured I’d hear a story so similar to mine.
Me: Squeeeeeeal!!!!!
Husband in other room: What is wrong with you?

Lol my hubs laughs cuz I'll be cooking and listening to Darkfluff and always say I love you too fluff! When he tells us he loves us at the end! 🥰
I'm so glad I'm not the only one.
Lives? aisle 13, 3/4 way down, and on the left side. Buy two, get another at full price!
How did the roofing guy get the job by buying all the stuff?! Forget applying to jobs! I’m just going to walk in and be like, “well, I have all the stuff,” and then they’ll have to hire me, right? 😂
You would be surprised how well that actually works. Not in this contractors situation. That’s just stupid and really really bad business. But if you go to a job with everything you need to work right then and there. Shows you have initiative and ambition. That you came to work and not make excuses. I have hired several people for doing just that. Guy came to a welding shop I was running. We had no add out saying we were hiring. He just pulled up in is work gear and boots had his tools in his truck a resume and said he could start right now. Hired him on the spot. One of the best welders and guys I have ever met.
"I'll keep you safe" is a common plan for stalkers.
Or abusers, or tyrants, etc.
your stories help me get through some of my random depressive days, thank you
I've been there. They can be a struggle. I hope your day is better tomorrow.
Who else loves new Dark Fluff videos?!
My buddy has his own construction business. He got hired to build a retaining wall for somebody. He built the wall and never got paid. After 2 weeks he went and tore it down. He said the only good part about non payment is he gets to become a demolition man. He hates the not eating part though
My roommate owned an antiques store the next town over. It was a mile walk (no big deal when the weather was nice) to our station and the ride to the next town was only 10-15 minutes. The conductor always started ticket checking at the front of the train and never got to the last car or two before the train was pulling in at the next stop (most passengers rode a lot further) so we'd get in the doorway and hop out the moment it opened. I don't think we paid a single time in 5 years when they sold the shop.
That story with the three roofing companies, hopefully OPs and the third company have a good relationship and still help each other out. Especially now that Mr D is gone from their competition.
It's what the shady Mr. D didn't know that got him. Not knowing how the insurance system worked and how to bid accordingly.
Or that the guy he screwed was a trusted advisor to the adjustor. A simple, "Yep. Looks good!" Screwed him over for life. All over 5% finder fee!
8:20 you say "he's completely aware" but the text says "he's completely unaware". Totally changes the motives of the adjuster.
That's just a BEAUTIFUL story! Adjustors always lowball. "Yeh, that looks good!" :)
Keep up with his plans to gift the money to his ex-wife, and ditch the gf who makes threats.
I wish this wasn’t called _malicious_ compliance. The meaning of malice is ‘evil intentions and forethought’. None of the people in these stories seem to be evil.
The problem with Story 2 is that not only did they punish the owner they also punished the workers, you can bet some of them where let go to cover costs.
Yeh. Sucks to work for a douche boss, huh?
If I was HOA, I would probably had let them do as long as I can before calling the cop & sue.. and it could have been on some severe fine about emotionnal damage (when you have some random guys removing your roof!!!) & maybe criminal charge for trespassing & home invasion. But I guess HOA was kind of in a weird situation "with a friend"of the president!
That first story sounds like it happened in Germany... Euros and he has to stay with them...
Could also be Netherlands or whatever, since underage drinking ain’t that big of a thing here, I doubt the police would confiscate alcohol
Just in time to listen to these amazing stories on the bus ride home! Perfect timing :D
4:18 Imagine socializing with a convicted murderer on a train
I dunno, I’m generally of the opinion that when someone is released from prison they’ve been punished already for whatever they did.
Usually. I’m not sure I’d ever agree with letting a convicted murderer out for any reason. By killing someone they stole that person’s entire future and if the victim was young enough, the lives of any kids they might have had. So IMO a murderer should lose their whole future to prison.
@@mikoto7693 I can understand that, a lot of people think it's a simple as putting down a mad dog, they had a taste of blood and they probably want more, but the human mind is a lot more complex, who knows why they did it?
He's done his time, we shouldn't be getting in the way of him leading a better life by the stigma surrounding convicts.
The social outcasting actively pushes convicts back into prisons because they often can't find any work at all, despite already having paid for their crime. And they can't even socialise properly and form healthy connections outside of prisons, so a lot of them find solace in each other, when they can.
@@damien678 Prisons are not a place for reform. They often come out worse & institutionalized.

12:33 I hate target, I hate shopping there, and I especially hated working there
I used to work for the retailer with the red color fetish and I know all well the calling floor people to registers
I lucked out as I had a person higher up the food chain than the district level covering my butt. That person often told the store management that I was to spend at least 3/4 of my time in my department as it was not only extremely profitable but they'd use it as an example to trainee managers/upper management so he wanted it to look as perfect as possible
Store management was furious as he also essentially created where I could get overtime often if I wanted
O, furious over success! Tells you what a soul sucker he is!
Heyo! Looks like another Darkfluff video! I can’t wait to hear what whacky stories he’s got for us this time!
We do a lot of insurance work and got called for a restaurant fire. The initial adjuster paid $80k. We could not see all of the damage until the demolition was completed. We also discovered additional items while the work was in progress. When the job was finished, the price, and insurance payment, increased to $1.3 million.
As a conductor myself, story number 1 got to be in Norway 😂
If I was your nana I'd pinch both your cheeks and say what fine young men you both are. Thanks for the upload stevo and fluff!
Dark fluff seems like such a nice person it makes me happy 😊
That last story: When someone does you a huge favour, the correct response is to thank them.

Absolutely addicted to Fluff at this point. Gotta get my daily dose 😄
Great video once again, Oh Great Fluffiness. Really appreciated coming home from a ridiculously long day to this. Thanks.
Day # 135 of telling fluff he’s beautiful too
Day # 110 of telling stevo he’s beautiful
Grab a drink? You know. That's a really good idea!
OOOOH story 3 reminded me sooo much of when I also worked at the bullseye xD I had been told I was going to get register training, I was fine with it, whatever... then a month passed. I asked about it and never really got a response. Another month. I asked again, nothing. And EVERY time they called for people to come cover registers, I'd begun turning to my coworkers and going "well I would but I'm not register trained." Even with supervisors around, I'd make sure to say it pretty clearly, since I was almost always on the floor (the place being what it was).
I'd stopped asking, and I'd worked there for quite some time when the busy busy holidays rolled around. Every time, I was just gleeful in saying how I'd never been register trained, even if directly asked to go help. It was so much fun to watch people get mad about it, because I literally wasn't able to get into a register without having passed the training course or whatever.
One of the best opening stories, keep it up Fluff.
Love the Contractor OP: This is nuclear Revenge
Well I did not actually fall through the ceiling from inside the attic, but my right foot did break all the way through the ceiling and into the living space, and I was fired that day. Nice to hear it was Mr. president's residence. Yes, I was new on the job and I did not notice that the planked walkway inside the attic was just that, a small narrow walkway and I over stepped and put my foot down onto the ceiling's sheetrock and almost fell through into the top of the stairs hallway leading to the bedrooms.
"Mr. Presidents Unit" is the name of my new late night comedy hour backup band.
I almost wist Tom had tried to take OP's Wages to cover the lost product...OP could have Sued his Ass in Court for it along with dropping the Wrath of the Ministry/Department of Labour on his Idiot Head...
As far as I'm aware, EVERY Province of Canada and US State has a Law that makes it Illegal for an Employer to dock Employee Wages to cover Store Losses...
Wish I knew that when I was younger. Got money taken out of my register (that someone else used) for fake money
The first train story kinda reminds me of the scene in "The Incredibles", where Syndrome gloats that it's not the end, but when Mr. Incredible throws his car at the ship, Syndrome instantly stops laughing and gasps, "Oh no..."
First story, CPS would likely only make things worse...
"keep Summer safe".
The additional comment of story 1 started wholesome until... the "8 years for murder" part, uhh HELL NO, I'm not messing with that.
What. Just because I bring lots of tools and material to a construction site does not mean that they have to hire me?! If they vote that company A should get the contract then company A gets to do it.
Bahama Mama? I'm going to have to remember that one.
There was one time where I had a legitimate excuse for not having a ticket. The station that I left from didn't have anyone to buy a ticket from but just a ticket machine. They didn't have a facility for credit cards; you had to put change into it. I had the right amount of change but in small coins. It wouldn't accept more than 10 coins at one time. When I got to the destination, I explained my situation. They agreed that it was genuine excuse but the fkrs still fined me. They said if I had a problem with that, I could take it to court. Bastards.
Fun reads!! Thanks ❤
Turbo nuts. 🤣 That's A Good 1 👏🏻
Lol, the second story was beautiful
is stevo being held hostage in your basement? asking for a friend o_O
If you have ever had someone say "asking for a friend" and mean it, explain the situation in a reply.
Not first. And hey fluff and steveo. Happy pre Thanksgiving guys.
Doing the dishes and listening to DarkFluff... it's worth the pruny fingers!
So… instead of fake sleep it's best to print out a prison release form? lol
Just wait until those kids watch this story. I can already imagine 6 underage kids with a serious face and rushed fake tattoos showing a paper saying they've just been released after 25 years in prison. All 6 of them. Ahahahaha
Only 8 years for murder?!
Another dark fluff video, another portion of my day hoping to have a steevo cameo
Which one of the higher-ups was Lisa blowing?
He just showed up and tore their roof off?? How does that mean “now we have to pay him and choose him for the whole job” and not “we’re calling the police and pressing hella charges wtf what kind of lunatic tears off a roof with no consent or agreement!?”
Love your videos Dark Fluff!
Bruh 8 years for murder? Where do they live? I'd understand manslaughter or crime-of-passion but murder? I'm more afraid of that country than the murderer they allowed free for "exemplary behavior."
I’d say “probably the UK” since our justice system is that weak and unsatisfactory but I think the OP mentioned Euros so I suppose I could be comforted that another country’s justice system is equally as weak, soft and forgiving.
I love listening to your stories but there's one title I haven't seen yet "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME"... WHY "BECAUSE IM YOUR BOSS"
So why didn't the pos manager have to pay?
So very enjoyable. Thanks.
Seems like Lisa was on OP's side tbh
8 years for murder?
❤ revenge at cost
Nice
Here i am! Ready for another one :p

thanks
In this day and age, why do trains not have ticket sales machines on board?
Hi
thanks for making my day fluff!
Story 3: I didn't hear what store that was, (or if it was even said) but it screams Walmart.
I thought he said "red"
It's implied to be Target. Mostly a general goods store, small grocery section, red. All that screams Target.
Thanks for the information, as a Brit I’ve heard of Target, but only because I also watch scambait videos where a TH-camr uses voice distorting software to convince scammers that he’s an elderly woman or sometimes man and Target is one of the outlets that scammers direct their victims to in order to trick them into buying gift cards and send the code on the back to the scammers so they can redeem the money for themselves.
Hi DarkFLuff big fan! Out of curiosity why did you choose a lamb let alone a black one what was the reasoning behind it?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's because a black lamb is both dark and fluffy
